The latest update from the AURORA Energy Tracker dashboard shows strong growth in citizen engagement across Europe’s demo sites. As of the most recent data snapshot, 1,761 active users have joined the AURORA App, collectively generating more than 182,000 individual energy-consumption data points.

The platform, part of the EU-funded AURORA project, enables citizens to monitor and compare their household energy use in electricity, heating, and transport. By combining technical data collection with citizen science, the app helps users better understand their energy behaviour and encourages concrete action to reduce CO₂ emissions.

According to the dashboard, data contributions are being recorded from several pilot sites — including Madrid (Spain), Aarhus (Denmark), Évora (Portugal), Ljubljana (Slovenia), and the Forest of Dean (United Kingdom).
In addition, data is now being reported from almost all European countries, showing how the work of AURORA’s Ambassadors — who promote the app and support new user engagement across their communities — is proving highly effective in expanding the initiative’s reach.

These figures mark a significant step forward for AURORA’s ambition: to turn citizens into active participants in the energy transition. The combination of large-scale user data and local community engagement allows the project to identify consumption patterns, test digital tools for carbon awareness, and co-design innovative policy recommendations for Europe’s path to climate neutrality.

“The numbers show that participation is real — people want to understand and shape their energy future,” says the AURORA team. “Every data point collected is a small act of climate responsibility.”
